He Who Gloats Is Without Snorkel

Tom D. writes from somewhere sure to be under water in the very near future:

BTW, I hear you all disproved Global-Climate-Warming-Change over the last couple of days. I feel your pain. This morning it was nearly 10a.m. before it hit 70 degrees here.

It really just started overnight. There was still enough warmening trapped in the atmosphere last evening for a formerly-pleasant-but-now-frightening-in-its-potential-for-global-disaster 30-ish. I could even detect the distinct aroma of SUV on the human-caused breeze.

By the time we went out for last smoke though, there had been significant coolening. Greenhouse gases from our cigarettes actually appeared to make it worse, and we definately felt colder the longer we stood there.

Rather than the sigh of relief that accompanies the departure of formerly-pleasant-but-now-frightening-in-its-potential-for-global-disaster temperatures and the customary break from media on the subject, there has been renewed agnst over the sudden, unexplainable, change.

Only one thing is known for certain. The need to pass a smoking ban has never been more urgent.
